One reason I haven’t posted much here is we’ve been hard at work moving TheJapanesePage.com to a new server and content management software. The move was made, but we have had a few problems. Oddly enough all three problems occurred at the same time and are totally unrelated.

第一
The brand-spanking new dedicated server has memory issues. The hosting company (says it) is working on it right now. The database is currently down which means the site is effectively down. The patience of Job…

第二
One consequence I didn’t think of with moving to a new system was the links in our daily kanji emails would be mismatched. The emails link directly to the kanji pages on the old server. I’ve already set aliases on current major pages to match the old file names, but going through hundreds of kanji pages isn’t something I relish.

And the third problem is why kanji a day email subscribers didn’t receive today’s email… The Listmail program I’m using suddenly broke yesterday. It wasn’t because the new server is having trouble; the listmail program is on a totally different server. Last night I emailed the programmer and just now got a response. He has fixed the problem, but I’m afraid emails will be off by one. This means I will get many emails asking for yesterday’s kanji. Not a big time consuming exercise, but multiply that by…

The funny thing is all three issues are totally separate and just happened at the same time.

Axlen posted a comment just now.  The old server is http://old.thejapanesepage.com.   It will be up for a few months.
